Description

These Cream Cheese Bars are the ultimate comfort dessert, featuring a luscious, tangy cream cheese center sandwiched between a sweet, buttery Bisquick crust and crumb topping. The addition of chopped walnuts adds a delightful crunch, while a hint of lemon juice brightens the rich flavor profile. Perfect for potlucks, family gatherings, or simply satisfying a sweet tooth, these bars are incredibly easy to make with pantry staples. They offer a perfect balance of textures and flavors, making them a crowd-pleaser every time. Serve them warm from the oven or chilled for a firmer slice.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the Bisquick mix with 1/2 cup softened butter and 1/4 cup of the chopped walnuts. Mix until crumbly.
  3. Press half of the crumbly mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  5. Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust in the pan.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup Bisquick with the remaining 1/4 cup walnuts. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  8. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
